Common questions

Is SnapRender safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SNAPRENDER_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (1.6.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SnapRender Integrations

Official integrations for the SnapRender Screenshot API: give AI agents eyes. Capture any public web page as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, or read it as clean markdown.

Remote MCP Server (recommended)

SnapRender runs a hosted MCP server. Connect from any MCP client with nothing to install:

https://app.snap-render.com/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP
Sign in: OAuth 2.0 (the client opens a SnapRender sign-in window; Google, GitHub or email), or an API key in the Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key header
Tools (11): capture, cache check, usage, signed links, content extraction, batches and webhooks (full list below)
Prompts: screenshot_website, compare_devices
Free plan: 200 screenshots a month, no credit card
Directory listing: SnapRender on Glama (health-checked, tool quality graded)

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Customize, then Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector, and paste https://app.snap-render.com/mcp. Claude opens a SnapRender sign-in window; approve it and the tools are ready. Step-by-step guide: snap-render.com/claude.

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients

Setup pages for each client, with one-click install where the client supports it: snap-render.com/ai-connectors.

A client that takes headers instead of OAuth:

"mcpServers": { "snaprender": { "url": "https://app.snap-render.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_your_key_here" } } } }

Any MCP client (curl)

# Initialize a session

curl -X POST https://app.snap-render.com/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

The server returns an Mcp-Session-Id header: include it in later requests to reuse the session.

Smithery

Install via Smithery for automatic setup with any MCP client.

Local MCP Server (npm)

If you prefer running locally via stdio transport:

"mcpServers": { "snaprender": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "snaprender-mcp"], "env": { "SNAPRENDER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here" } } } }

See mcp-server/ for full documentation.

Remote vs Local

	Remote (hosted)	Local (`npx`)
Install	None, just an HTTPS URL	Requires Node.js + npx
Transport	Streamable HTTP	stdio
Sign in	OAuth or API key	API key (`SNAPRENDER_API_KEY`)
Use case	Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client	Clients that only run local servers

MCP Tools

The hosted server and the npm package expose the same 11 tools. Parameters are documented in each tool's schema and in the API docs.

Tool	What it does	Cost
`take_screenshot`	Capture a URL as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF: device presets, full page, dark mode, ad and cookie banner removal, hide or click selectors	1 capture (cached copies free)
`check_screenshot_cache`	Check whether a capture with these options is already cached	Free
`get_usage`	Captures used and left this month, the limit and the reset date	Free
`sign_screenshot_url`	Create a signed link that renders a screenshot when opened, no API key needed	1 capture when opened
`extract_content`	Read a page as markdown, text, HTML, article, links or metadata	1 capture (failures free)
`batch_screenshots`	Capture up to 50 URLs in one background job	1 capture per URL (failures refunded)
`get_batch_status`	Poll a batch job and get its download links	Free
`list_webhooks`	List webhook subscriptions	Free
`create_webhook`	Get notified when a batch finishes, the quota runs low, or a scheduled capture changes	Free
`delete_webhook`	Delete a webhook subscription	Free
`test_webhook`	Send a test payload to a webhook	Free
